When are the next London Underground strikes? Tube driver dispute over working hours

London Underground Tube RMT TfL
  • London Underground drivers, represented by the RMT union, will stage a series of 24-hour strikes in the coming months over a dispute regarding working hours.
  • The industrial action is planned for 21 and 23 April, 19 and 21 May, and 16 and 18 June, with each strike commencing at midday and lasting for 24 hours.
  • The RMT union states the dispute stems from Transport for London's (TfL) proposal to compress a normal working week into four days, a plan rejected by a majority of train operators.
  • TfL clarifies that the proposed four-day working week is voluntary and applies only to Bakerloo line drivers, urging the union to call off the planned strikes.
  • Should the strikes proceed, TfL anticipates significant disruption on the Tube, with other services like the Elizabeth line and DLR expected to be very busy, though most bus services will operate as usual.
